    Need Help Identifying Parts on a crossover and a few other newbie questions

    Hi I am trying to refurbish this crossover with some higher quality poly-caps/parts... The speaker is a in-wall Polk 65-RT... Key questions I have are:

    1) What in the world is the yellow part on the board (label is MET 1.0J 100V)?... Should I even consider replacing it?
    2) The 470uF cap.... Does anyone know have a suggestion as to where I can find a reasonable audio quality polycap near that value? (or at least 3 160s or the like?) { I don't want to spend $70 just to replace this one if I can) (maybe even someone looking at this circuit could even tell if this cap is important if I am just running the speaker with standard settings on the toggle switches? (i think 1 toggle messes with the tweeter power and the other with the woofer)
    3) For the resistor 5W4R5J, does this mean a 5w 4Ohm resistor or 5w 4.5Ohm resistor??


    Any help you can provide would be appreciated!!

    it's a film capacitor - probably 1uf
    and it will be fine.
    good luck finding decent bi-polar electrolytics anymore though.

        2) Audio capacitors are marketing BS 🤡🤡🤡, don't waste your money!, if they are faulty then any good named brand e.g. Panasonic, Nichicon etc. cap of the same value are as good as you will get.

        3) It means 5W 4.5 ohms ... J is tolerance (+ or - 5%)

        Honestly though don't waste money on "Audio" caps ....

          is something supposed to be wrong with it or are you just trying to make it better?

              dont bother, the only thing a crossover is really for is to block bass from reaching moving coil tweeters.
              piezo ones dont even need a crossover and bass speakers just ignore higher frequencies.

                Samsung U32D970 PSU blown up (Identifying Parts)
                by Fr3shGy
                Hi, my U32D970 PSU (BN44-00786A) has blown up. It went out with a loud bang.

                One of the N-Channel Mosfets (OM802C) caused a short and fried the trace and its components connecting to one of the pins of the 6A01 IC.

                I need help to identify 2 SMD resistors which lost their markings
                highlighted in picture 3 (RM812 and RM808).

                Maybe someone can help me identify them, has a schematic or can give me some advice. would be much appreciated.

                Samsung UN65JU67ODFXZA Version TD01 Schematic and Parts List
                by Mark D
                The TV is a Samsung UN65JU67ODFXZA Version TD01. I replaced the power source board and the TV is now working, but I decided to try and troubleshoot the old board to fix at the component level. Trying to get a schematic and a parts list has proven to be an issue. Trying on my own, I can't tell you how many times my Norton security has flagged sites as "malicious". I ordered a service manual from ServiceManuals.net, paid $16.99 and got 66 pages of everything BUT schematics and component parts list! Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Some of the surface mounted component parts...

                Coil Whine , buzzing, identifying parts R9 Fury
                by 90Ninety
                I have an R9 Furty Nano ( R9 2XX IIRC ) that I want to put to use , I got it on ebay for quite cheap but, it has some of the worse coil whine I have heard .

                I tried putting a long tube on my ear and hovered it around the card while in use , I cannot pinpoint it . However I my educated guess is , that it the whine is an inductor coil and it is one or all of these in the picture . Does anyone know what part this is and what part I can replace them with .




                Perhaps likely is that I am missing something else it could be , here is a stock picture...

                SVOD4 PCB pictures + parts
                by 2elw
                Hey, I find it very absurd that the SVOD4 costs so much and has zero documentation. I had no other choice than to buy it to unlock ECs, if there was any documentation or firmware avalible I could've made it or something simmilar. Anyways here are some of the most important parts:

                STM32H723VGT6 MCU - It's a microcontroller by STMicroelectronics and its the whole brain of the SVOD4. It has flash memory for the firmware which can be updated by the SVOD4 program. Its also powered by the AMS117 which converts 5v into 3.3V. 7€ on AliExpress.
